| 2004 toyota tacoma 4x4 with 3.4l engine and manual trans. having throttle body issues. the accelerator position sensor is failing causing the truck to stall for a second and then pick back up. truck does not throw a check engine code when this occurs, so dealer has informed me on different occasions that nothing is wrong. i was almost ran over the other day trying to pull out into traffic when the throttle body failed. this is a safety concern and toyota needs to address it immediately!!!!!!!! what's it going to take, someone getting seriously injured or a healthy low suit for toyota to take action? *jb | |||

| After running the vehicle and shutting it off for about 2 hours the vehicle did not want to start, there was only about 2,000 miles on the truck. the starter is cranking the engine, but the engine is not starting up. i took it to the toyota service department, and they said nothing was wrong with the vehicle. the same thing happend severl times after i had taken it to toyota. the only way to start the vehicle would be to crank it up for about 5 minutes, then the vehicle would run rough for about a minute. i took it to the toyota service department again and this time they worked on it. they said they had to change the throttle position sensor, the engine wiring harness, and the fuel injectors. no old parts were available. problem has still not been corrected. vehicle now has about 6,000 miles and every 3-4 days it still doesn't want to start up. *ak | |||
